- Take some photos or have a professional photographer capture some images of your friend while he is riding. Select the best picture and frame it. The frame may be an inexpensive ready-made frame or a custom-made design, depending on the amount you are ready to spend. As an alternative, you can make a collage using several pictures taken at the rodeo and frame it.
- Rodeo gear, such as cowboy boots or hats, may make a great gift. Find rodeo boots in rodeo gear shops. The price of boots is typically between $90 and $300, depending on the manufacturer. If you want to make a special present, you can look for a place that provides custom-made boots and order a pair or simply get a gift certificate for a pair, so your friend can decide on the design and color of the boots. Cowboy hats may also be a thoughtful gift and their price range from $15 to $300 or more. Ropes, gloves or roping supplies may also be an option when it comes to getting a gift for a rodeo participant.
- A bolo tie, also known as a shoestring tie, is a simple gift a pro rodeo participant may sport. Select a bolo tie that has horse-shoe-shaped clasp or clasp with engravings related to rodeo. Certain jewelry makers may give you the option of choosing the design for the clasp, so you can order the logo of the Pro Rodeo organization. Bolo ties are typically inexpensive and suitable as a gift if you don't know the person well or if you have a smaller budget.
- A horse aficionado may enjoy a piece of art representing horses. Opt for an oil painting if your budget is larger or you have teamed up with other friends to buy this gift. Alternatively, get an art print, which is less expensive. If your friend enjoys horses, he will surely appreciate race tickets. In case you are unable to find any race courses in your area, look for documentaries or movies with horses. Browse local bookshops for books on horse breeds or the history of rodeo.
